EFFECT OF THn DISCOVERY
OF DYNAMITE bombs

sympathy for the Condemned An
arohists Rapidly Dying Out.

~ osE@ u ~
officials of the Cook County Jail
We're very much surprised ON dis
covering hidden away in tho cell of
the condemned Anarchist Lingg,
four dynamite bombs, made with
5-s inch gas pipe, about 6 inches
long, The discovery was purely
accidental, being made while the
officers were cleaning out the cells.
The first cell looked over was that
of Lingg, and he was taken down to
the lower tier of cells and locked
up. Nothing startling was dis
covered until Turnkey Eagan haul
ed out from a pile of papers in a
corner a box which looked some
thing like a cigar box, fastened
with heavy brass clasps. The
impression at first was that it was
an ordinary cigar box, but the
weight of it created a suspicion.
The box was opened and the con-
tents examined. Various theories
as to the contents were advanced,
but suddenly with a gasp, almost
letting fall the box, Jailer Folz ex-
claimed:
oDYNAMITE!n
A brief consultation was held
between Conrad Folz, Death Watch
man Osborn and a couple of other
officials, when it was decided that
the matter be kept from the knowl-
edge of the condemned men.
The cells of the other men were
carefully inspected, but nothing
further was developed, except that
the fact was brought to light that
Engel had made an attempt at
suicide by taking laudanum. En-
gel about 1890 O'Clock seemed to be
sick and suffering. When confront
ed with the bottle and the fact,
be said he had only taken a little
whisky. Various theories were
advanced as to the probable use to
which the bombs we're to be put.
The idea that was generally credit
ed was,
THAT OF SUICIDE,
as on careful examination Capt.
Setback came to the conclusion that
the bombs were not dangerous
enough to injure persons in the
next room adjoining the one where
they were exploded. The idea was
that the manner of using them
would be as unique as original, the
man intending suicide placing one
end of the bomb in this mouth like
an ordinary cigar and then lighting
it. How the Internal machines
were introduced into the cell is a
mystery.
The bombs were probably snug
gled in, one at a time, and slipped
through the bars by some of the
sympathizing visitors of the vic
tins.
When the discovery was general
ly announced to the public the tide
O sympathy which had been steadi-
ly flowing in favor of the Anarchists
was suddenly checked and a reac-
ton followed.
A BOLD THREAT IN FRANCE.
M~ARsEILLEs, Nov. AT a vio-
lent meeting of Anarchists here to-
day a resolution was adopted to
warn American agents in France of
vengeance in the event of the ex-
eution of the condemned Chicago
Anarchists. A copy of the resolu-
ton was conveyed by a deputation
to the American consulate. The
consul was absent and the deputa-
ton retired quietly.

A shooting afiray occurred at

O'Brien, q former Miles City man was
killed by shot fired by VIM. Bur.

given by local publication is as fol-
lows:
The FLORENCE" mine, over which

claimed by both parties, w. II. Bur
ges and Murray d 0'Brien.
Last week Mr.. Burgess was Inform.
ed by parties that they had leased the
property from Murray d O'Brien and
that they intended to commence work
on 1t at once; whereupon Mr.. Burgess
told them that he owned the mine
and that IL should not be worked with
out his permission. A day or two af.
terward Ed. McGrsth, one Of the
lessees went up to work and was or
dered off by Mr.. Burgess, who held

Saturday morning.at about s o'clock
while Harry johnson and Chas,
Stevens were at work on the dump
for Burg ,ss they were approached by
O'Brien and another man, both armed
and were ordered to get of the
ground bv O'Brien. Johnson said
that he was working for Burgess and
would not leave until told TO do so by
the latter, and added, "if you wish to
talk to Burgess I'll call him out, t,"but
O'Brien said no. hell come out after
awhile.n O'Brien then repeated his
order for them to leave, saying: "You
had better get Off for you are copper
ed right now" aud upon being asked
by Johnson what he meant, pointed
up the hill to man partially hidden
BEHIND bull pine with gun In his
hands. johnson then left and went
to the Josephine claim, After
crossing which he looked around and
saw two more armed men near the
FLORENCE" He then refused to 20
further. o'BrieD then came up TO
where johnson was and asked him TO
leave the hills, saying that "he would
give him anything that was reason
able II he would leave and not witness
what would take place there that
day. But johnson still refused, say-
ing: "O'Brisn 1 Gee through your
